Yeah but Mancini is some sort of Dr. Evil psychological genius for repeatedly saying United have won it, apparently.

I just hope he doesn't play them too well and turn his own team of shit the beds into nervous wrecks.

It's down to who are the biggest bottlers unfortunately.

If we do end up loosing the title, it might actually be for the best (in the long term), forcing the Glazer's into investing heavily in key areas instead of looking for value options. Win it, and they might say to each other 'are £#%&! it', thinking that as champions of England we were good enough anyway.

I'd say it's nigh on miraculous that we have kept up with the 500 million City for so long, this season, let alone overtake them. Surely the time has come to start competing with them/Chelsea again, in terms of buying proven quality instead of ones for the future...

Remind me again of all the world class talent they bought after Chelsea did the Double in 2010? Or their reaction to watching us be eviscerated in two European Cup finals? Whatever happen in the coming weeks, we'll be watching the same shit @#%&!s next season serve up another nine months of mostly terrible football.

There's no upside to watching City win the league. Keep bleating about money if it helps numb the pain though.

Aye - a precautionary measure in case we get £#%&!ed.

It's the anti 'Why always us - we won it 20 times' ethos. Looking for a positive in the negative before the negative even happens, as opposed to celebrating a positive from a now likely negative.

Need more coffee.

True.

There's no getting away from it....if we blow this, it will be the most painful season since 92.

I must have loost the plot trying to find a way to calm my nerves, the pre-programming of a defence mechanism into my own psyche (in the event of a worse case scenario) is helping FFS.

No not at all, just he's a young lad and we need a big performance from him next week. Was a bit nervous Chelsea away, and he did well.

We've already choked in one vital game this season (Basle), surely Fergje wont let it happen again .

Times like this you United still had a Keane on the pitch....

I can't see them £#%&!ing up if they beat us. The confidence and self belief they'll gain from beating us will carry them through. If they beat us. It's all doom and gloom now and I can understand it, but come Monday, ALL the pressure is on them and they have to win to have any chance. It's a big ask for them and they don't seem to respond well to pressure.

aye - what I said yesterday. We badly missed a leader out there. At 4-2 we really should have been looking to run out the clock and tighten the £#%&! up.
